The test match between India and Afghanistan started from 6 June. This match is being played in Mullanpur, where Team India declared its first innings at 564 runs. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill scored centuries in the first innings. Let us tell you that India is not in a very good position in the World Test Championship table. In such a situation, if India defeats Afghanistan by a big margin in the Test match, then know what effect it will have on the WTC points table.
There is no benefit even if you win
Even if Team India registers a big victory over Afghanistan in the Mullanpur Test, it will not get any advantage in the points table of the World Test Championship. This is because Afghanistan is not included in the 9 teams that participate in the World Test Championship.
Whereas the World Test Championship cycle includes those series in which at least 2 test matches are played. But only one test match is to be played between India and Afghanistan. Therefore, even if Team India wins, it will not get any advantage in the WTC table.
India at sixth place
In the World Test Championship, teams are ranked according to points percentage. After 4 wins in 9 matches, India’s winning percentage is 48.15 and it is at sixth position in the table. Team India has played almost half the matches in the WTC 2025-27 cycle and from here the path to the final is looking very difficult for them. At present Australia is at first place and New Zealand is at second place. Whereas the defending champion of the World Test Championship, South Africa is at number three.
